French > English |

Subject: |
Business / Marketing / Financial |
|
Level of diffculty: |
Easy / medium |

Word or term in question: |
se livrait à des taxations |
|
Context: |
Pour assurer l’apparence d’honnêteté commerciale, à laquelle le Reichsmarschall tenait essentiellement, l’expert français, commis à cet usage, se livrait à des taxations dont l’incohérence n’était égalée que par leur flagornerie envers l’occupant. Les Deux Tahitiennes de Gauguin3 qui figurèrent à maintes expositions parisiennes furent évaluées 30 000 francs4. Une occasion à faire rêver tous les collectionneurs. |

My comment:
ie he vastly undervalued the artworks in order to suck up to the Germans (who could thus purchase them more easily)

The sentence about the Gauguin is an illustration of the ridiculously low value he placed on the artworks.
